THINKING IT THROUGH

  • Can be significantly more expensive for personal care needs

  • Not always necessary for personal care needs alone

What are the benefits of live-in care?

Live-in care offers a safe and flexible alternative to residential care, allowing people to receive full-time support in the comfort of their own home. From practical help with everyday tasks to emotional support and companionship, there are many reasons families choose this type of care.

Personalised, one-to-one support

With live-in care, your loved one receives dedicated, round-the-clock support from a single, trusted carer. They provide personalised help with daily routines, companionship, and personal care, all tailored to individual preferences.

Independence and familiar surroundings

Live-in care allows your loved one to stay at home, surrounded by the things, people, and memories they love. For those with dementia, this consistency can reduce confusion and anxiety while supporting confidence and independence.

Peace of mind for families

A live-in carer offers reassurance that your loved one is safe, supported, and never alone. Families can relax knowing professional help is always on hand while independence and choice are respected.

Flexible and cost-effective care

Live-in care can be more affordable than many expect, often costing less than residential care. You only pay for the support you need, and local authority funding may help cover costs. Learn more in our guide to funding your care.

Social life and wellbeing

Staying at home helps your loved one remain active and connected. Carers can accompany them to social events, clubs, or family visits, making it easier to maintain friendships and hobbies.

Better health outcomes

Research shows live-in care can lead to fewer falls, faster recovery, and fewer hospital admissions. Staying at home also means keeping the same GP and healthcare team for consistent, trusted support.

Couples can stay together

Separating elderly couples when one can no longer cope can be painful. Live-in care allows them to stay together as a single carer can ensure the needs of both are taken care of, only assisting where required.

What's the difference between live-in care and care home costs?

Care costs in the UK vary by location, the level of need and the type of care. As a guide:

  • Care homes typically cost £1,000 to £1,600 a week.
  • Live-in care typically costs £1,200 to £1,500 a week for one-to-one support in the home.
  • Visiting care starts from £30 an hour, suited to people who need help at set times each day.

For people who need 24-hour personal care but not constant nursing, live-in care often works out less than care homes. On average, Elder's live-in care costs 35% less than the average UK care home.*

Three main routes fund care, whichever option you choose:

  • Self-funding: If your loved one has assets above £23,250 in England, they're expected to pay for their own care. Independent care fees advice is worth the cost.
  • Local authority funding: Below the threshold, the local council may contribute after a needs assessment and a financial assessment.
  • NHS Continuing Healthcare: Where there's a primary health need, the NHS pays 100% of care costs, in a care home or at home. It's not means-tested.

For more information, read our guide on how to fund your care.

*Based on comparison of Elder's average weekly live-in care fee against the UK average weekly residential care home fee. Care home fees vary by region, room type and care needs.
